Ralph welcomes Heidi Shierholz, president of the Economic Policy Institute, to break down the budget bill passing through Congress that is the largest transfer of wealth from the poor and working-class to the wealthy in United States history. Then, insurance expert, Robert Hunter returns to discuss the recent rise in auto insurance rates.Heidi Shierholz is the president of the Economic Policy Institute, a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank that uses the power of its research on economic trends and on the impact of economic policies to advance reforms that serve working people, deliver racial justice, and guarantee gender equity. In 2021 she became the fourth president EPI has had since its founding in 1986.We've never seen a budget that so plainly takes from the poor to give to the rich… The nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office found that lower and lower middle-income people will actually lose out. They may get something of a tax break, but they lose benefits. So that on net, their after-tax income will be lower after this bill, while the rich just make out like bandits.Heidi Shierholz, President of the Economic Policy InstituteThe draconian cuts that we are seeing to the safety net are not big enough, because the tax increases are so huge that this bill also increases the deficit dramatically.Heidi ShierholzMany folks are calling this the MAGA Murder Bill. They're not wrong. People will die because of the cuts that we're seeing here.Heidi ShierholzRobert Hunter is the Director Emeritus of Insurance at the Consumer Federation of America. He has held many positions in the field, both public and private, including being the Commissioner of Insurance for the State of Texas being the President and Founder of the National Insurance Consumer Organization and served as United States Federal Insurance Administrator.Decide how much you need. Don't ask for more than you really need. And then once you have it, “I need this much for my car. I need this much if I hit somebody” and so on. And then you get that statistic, and you send it out to several companies and get quotes.Robert Hunter on buying auto insuranceThere isn't any program benefiting the American people that Trump is not cutting in order to turn the country over to the giant corporations and the super-rich. It's basically an overthrow of the government and an overthrow of the rule of law.Ralph NaderNews 6/6/251. On May 23rd, the Trump administration Department of Justice officially announced it had reached an agreement with Boeing to drop its criminal case against the airline manufacturer related to the 2018 and 2019 crashes that killed 346 people, NPR reports. The turnover at the federal government in recent years has prolonged this case; the first Trump administration reached a deferred prosecution agreement with Boeing in 2021, but prosecutors revived the criminal case under President Biden, and as NPR notes, “Boeing agreed last year to plead guilty to defrauding regulators, but a federal judge rejected that proposed plea deal.” Just before the deal was reached, Senators Elizabeth Warren and Richard Blumenthal penned a letter calling on the DOJ not to “allow [Boeing] to weasel its way out of accountability for its failed corporate culture, and for any illegal behavior that has resulted in deadly consequence,” but this was clearly ignored. Paul Cassell, a law professor at the University of Utah and former federal judge who, according to NPR, is representing the families of victims for free, said, “This kind of non-prosecution deal is unprecedented and obviously wrong for the deadliest corporate crime in U.S. history…My families will object and hope to convince the court to reject [the deal]."2. That same day, Trump signed a new executive order to “cut down on regulations and fast-track new licenses for [nuclear] reactors and power plants,” per Reuters. According to the wire service, “Shares of uranium mining companies Uranium Energy…Energy Fuels…and Centrus Energy…jumped between 19.6% and 24.2%” following this announcement. Sam Altman-backed nuclear startup Oklo gained 23.1%. The administration's new interest in the nuclear industry is spurred in part by increased demand for energy as, “power-hungry data centers dedicated to artificial intelligence and crypto miners plug into the grid.” The nuclear industry is also expected to retain many tax incentives stripped away from green energy initiatives in the so-called Big Beautiful Bill.3. In yet another instance of the Trump administration going soft on corporate greed, the Republican-controlled Federal Trade Commission has dismissed their case against PepsiCo. As the AP explains, “The lawsuit…alleged that PepsiCo was giving unfair price advantages to Walmart at the expense of other vendors and consumers,” citing the 1936 Robinson-Patman Act, which bans companies from “using promotional incentive payments to favor large customers over smaller ones.” Current FTC Chair Andrew Ferguson called the case a “dubious partisan stunt,” in a press release. Former Chair Lina Khan however, called the dismissal “disturbing,” and wrote, “This lawsuit would've protected families from paying higher prices at the grocery store and stopped conduct that squeezes small businesses and communities across America. Dismissing it is a gift to giant retailers as they gear up to hike prices.”4. Instead of utilizing the federal regulatory apparatus to protect consumers and the public, the Trump administration instead continues to weaponize these institutions to target progressive groups. According to Axios, the FTC is “investigating…Media Matters over claims that it and other media advocacy groups coordinated advertising boycotts of Elon Musk's X.” As this report notes, “X [formerly Twitter] sued Media Matters for defamation in 2023 for a report it publicly released that showed ads on X running next to pro-Nazi content. X claimed the report contributed to an advertiser exodus.” While it seems unlikely the social media platform could prevail in such a suit, the suit has effectively cowed the advertising industry, with the World Federation of Advertisers dismantling their Global Alliance for Responsible Media just months after the suit was filed. Media Matters president Angelo Carusone is quoted saying, “The Trump administration has been defined by naming right-wing media figures to key posts and abusing the power of the federal government to bully political opponents and silence critics…that's exactly what's happening here…These threats won't work; we remain steadfast to our mission.”5. On Thursday, Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cotez endorsed State Assemblyman Zohran Mamdani in his bid for Mayor of New York City, POLITICO reports. This endorsement came the morning after the first mayoral primary debate, a rollicking affair featuring nine candidates and including a testy exchange in which the moderators disregarded their own rules to press Mamdani to say whether he believed in “a Jewish state of Israel?” Mamdani responded that he believed Israel has a right to exist “as a state with equal rights.” This from the Times of Israel. In her endorsement, AOC wrote “Assemblymember Mamdani has demonstrated a real ability on the ground to put together a coalition of working-class New Yorkers that is strongest to lead the pack…In the final stretch of the race, we need to get very real about that.” Ocasio-Cortez said she would rank Adrienne Adams, Brad Lander, Scott Stringer and Zellnor Myrie in that order after Mamdani.6. Turning to Palestine itself, the Times of Israel reports notorious Biden State Department spokesman Matthew Miller admitted in an interview that, “It is without a doubt true that Israel has committed war crimes” in Gaza. While Miller stops short of accusing the Israeli government of pursuing “a policy of deliberately committing war crimes,” and repeats the tired canard that Hamas resisted ceasefire negotiations, he admits that the Biden administration “could have done [more] to pressure the Israeli government to agree to…[a] ceasefire.” Hopefully, Miller's admission will help crack the dam of silence and allow the truth to be told about this criminal military campaign.7. Even as Miller makes this admission, the merciless bombing of Palestinians continues. The Guardian reports “On Sunday, at least 31 Palestinians were killed after Israeli forces opened fire at the site of a food distribution centre in Rafah…On Monday, another three Palestinians were killed by Israeli fire at the same site…And on Tuesday, 27 people were killed after Israeli forces opened fire again, say Gaza officials.” This report continues, citing UN human rights chief, Volker Türk, who said on Tuesday that “Palestinians in Gaza now faced an impossible choice: ‘Die from starvation or risk being killed while trying to access the meagre food that is being made available.'” Türk added that by attacking civilians, Israel is committing yet more war crimes.8. Some high-profile activists are taking direct action to deliver food to Gaza. Democracy Now! reports 12 activists aboard The Madleen, part of the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, have departed from the Italian port of Catania. This group includes Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg, actor Liam Cunningham, and Rima Hassan, a French member of the European Parliament. Despite the previous ship being targeted by a drone attack, Thunberg is quoted saying “We deem the risk of silence and the risk of inaction to be so much more deadly than this mission.” Threats to the flotilla continue to pour in. South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham tweeted, “Hope Greta and her friends can swim!” In Israel itself, IDF spokesman Brigadier General Effie Defrin ominously stated “we will act accordingly," per FOX News.9. In more foreign policy news, Gareth Gore – a Washington Post reporter and author of Opus, an exposé of the shadowy Opus Dei sect within the Catholic Church – reports Pope Leo has given Opus Dei six months to “pass comprehensive reforms” and has told the group that if significant changes are not made by December, “necessary measures will be taken.” Gore further reports that in addition to the reforms, “[Pope] Leo has also demanded an investigation into abuse allegations…[including] human trafficking, enslavement…[and] physical and psychological abuse of members.” According to Gore, the reforms were first ordered by Pope Francis in 2022, but “Opus Dei dragged its feet – in the hope the pope would pass away first.” Upon his death, Pope Francis had been on the, “cusp of signing into canon law a huge reform of Opus Dei.” The Vatican was also moving to force a vote on a revised Opus Dei constitution, which was, “quietly cancelled” within hours of Francis' death. Perhaps most tellingly, Gore reports “The Vatican has privately reassured Opus Dei victims who have long campaigned for justice that they ‘won't be disappointed'”10. Finally, a political earthquake has occurred in South Korea. Listeners may remember the failed coup attempt by right-wing former President Yoon Suk Yeol, which culminated in his ouster and could ultimately lead to a sentence of life in prison or even death. Now, the country has elected a new president, Lee Jae-myung, by a margin of 49.4% to 41.2%. Lee, who leads Korea's Democratic People's Party, has “endured a barrage of criminal indictments and an assassination attempt,” since losing the last presidential election by a margin of less than 1 per cent, per the Financial Times. Lee is a former factory worker who campaigned in a bulletproof vest after surviving being knifed in the neck last year. The FT notes “Lee…grew up in poverty and suffered [a] permanent injury at the age of 13 when his arm was crushed in a machine at the baseball glove factory where he worked…in 2022 [he] declared his ambition to be a ‘successful Bernie Sanders'.” That said, he has pivoted to the center in his recent political messaging. Beyond the impact of Lee's election on the future of Korean democracy, his tenure is sure to set a new tone in Korea's relations with their neighbors including the US, the DPRK, China and Japan.This has been Francesco DeSantis, with In Case You Haven't Heard.

In this explosive episode of Sunrise Carolina with Joey Hudson, Joey dives deep into a weekend bombshell: nearly $100 billion in taxpayer funds rushed out the door by the Biden administration in just 76 days before Trump took office—an unprecedented green energy giveaway. With insights from Maria Bartiromo's interview with Energy Secretary Chris Wright, Joey breaks down how Democrats funneled money into failing ventures, froze American energy development (especially in Alaska), and crippled domestic oil and gas production. But that's not all—Joey is stunned by a rare bipartisan moment: Senators Lindsey Graham and Richard Blumenthal backing Trump-style tariffs on China, threatening a 500% import tax if Beijing continues buying oil from Russia. Is this a realignment of U.S. foreign policy? Or political theater? Either way, the implications for energy, AI, and global power dynamics are massive. Strap in—this episode cuts through the noise and exposes what legacy media missed.

Border agency taps ‘chatCBP' to assist workforce; Democrats call on DHS to reinstate Cyber Safety Review Board membership

The Daily Scoop Podcast

U.S. Customs and Border Protection is implementing an AI chatbot called “chatCBP” for its workforce, following in the footsteps of similar federal government creations like DHSChat and StateChat. “CBP's chatCBP is an AI-powered chatbot designed to improve efficiency and access to information for CBP personnel while meeting CBP's security standards,” a CBP spokesperson told FedScoop in an emailed statement. The tool uses a large language model and gives workers responses and guidance in a conversational format “quickly and securely.” According to the spokesperson: “chatCBP offers features like document summarization, compilation, information extraction, and multi-file analysis, reducing the time spent searching for and interpreting documents.” News of the chatbot comes after other agencies within the federal government have launched their own internal chatbots in an attempt to more securely provide the type of generative AI assistance made popular by ChatGPT. That includes the Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security, CBP's parent agency. DHSChat, for its part, was announced last year and is similarly aimed at aiding workers with routine tasks. But, per the spokesperson, chatCBP is different in that it's designed to meet unique operational needs that the subagency has, such as requiring more control over LLM development, monitoring, data management and security. Four senators asked Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem to reestablish the Cyber Safety Review Board, citing the need to investigate a landmark breach of telecommunications networks by Chinese hackers known as Salt Typhoon. In a letter last Thursday, the senators also said the board has conducted important oversight of other incidents before DHS removed its members in January, such as its report on a breach of Microsoft by other Chinese hackers. Democratic Sens. Mark Warner of Virginia, Richard Blumenthal of Connecticut, Elissa Slotkin of Michigan and Ron Wyden of Oregon wrote in the letter: “The CSRB played a vital role in U.S. national security carrying out post-incident reviews and providing information and making recommendations to improve public and private sector cyber security. Therefore, we urge you to swiftly reconstitute the Board with qualified leaders to shape our nation's cyber response.” Warner is the top Democrat on the Senate Intelligence panel, and the four members sit on either the Intelligence Committee or the Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee. DHS purged all members from its advisory boards and committees in January. While the later disbanding of other boards has drawn some concern, the removal of the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency-led Cyber Safety Review Board's members has drawn the most negative reaction from the cybersecurity community. It halted a Salt Typhoon investigation that had only just begun.

Putin se ríe de Trump

Donald Trump anda un tanto frustrado con Vladimir Putin debido al estancamiento de las negociaciones de paz en Ucrania. A través de redes sociales, ha expresado su inquietud, ha acusado a Putin de "jugar con fuego" y le ha advertido que, sin su intervención, Rusia habría tenido que afrontar graves consecuencias. Su secretaria de prensa, Karoline Leavitt, reiteró que Trump busca un acuerdo negociado, pero que tienen todas las opciones sobre la mesa, incluyendo posibles sanciones contra Rusia, que podrían aprobarse pronto. Trump ha criticado a Putin por la muerte de civiles, asegurando que "no sabe qué le pasa", mientras Rusia intensifica sus ataques, como un reciente bombardeo con más de 350 drones y misiles contra Ucrania. Durante su campaña, Trump prometió resolver la guerra en 24 horas, confiando en su supuesta buena relación con Putin. Sin embargo, las negociaciones han fracasado. Al llegar a la Casa Blanca Trump favoreció a Putin, humilló a Volodímir Zelenski y excluyó a Rusia de los aranceles recíprocos, pero el Kremlin no cedió. Las conversaciones, que comenzaron en Arabia Saudí hace ya meses, no avanzan. Putin, fortalecido por una serie de avances en el campo de batalla, no está dispuesto a negociar. Trump parece haber creído que su "amistad" con Putin bastaría para lograr la paz, pero ahora reconoce que se ha aprovechado de su confianza. Se plantea abandonar las negociaciones si un último intento falla, aunque no está claro qué implicaría esto para el apoyo militar de EEUU a Ucrania. A pesar de advertencias, como las del senador Lindsey Graham, que insiste en que solo sanciones forzarán a Putin a negociar, Trump se ha resistido a criticarle hasta hace muy poco. Su aversión por Zelenski, vinculado en su mente a Biden, y su convicción de ser infalible han complicado las cosas. Una reciente llamada con Putin en la que rechazó un alto el fuego, deterioró aún más su percepción del presidente ruso. Graham y el senador demócrata Richard Blumenthal proponen un proyecto de ley con sanciones duras contra Rusia y países que apoyen la agresión, entre ellas aranceles del 500 % a importaciones de quienes compren petróleo ruso. Pero no está claro si esto doblegará a Putin, cuya economía depende por completo de la guerra. Rusia ha reestructurado su economía para un conflicto prolongado. Produce armamento de forma masiva y han reclutado soldados con altos salarios, lo que ha sostenido el crecimiento. Los avances militares, aunque lentos, le dan confianza para ignorar las negociaciones. El desafío para Putin es el futuro: desmontar esta economía de guerra será problemático. La industria armamentística, hoy motor económico del país, ha mejorado la vida de muchos rusos, pero una paz repentina podría causar desempleo y descontento. Esto podría forzar a Rusia a mantener una economía militarizada más allá de la paz. Eso genera comprensibles temores en países vecinos como los Bálticos o Kazajistán, que no descartan problemas en sus fronteras. La desmovilización de soldados curtidos en combate también plantea riesgos internos en el caso de que la reconversión de la economía rusa no se realice de forma gradual. Un cúmulo de problemas que Putin por ahora está esquivando, pero a cambio de agotar la paciencia de quien en los últimos cinco meses ha sido su mejor aliado.

Trump Administration to Cut 80,000 VA Jobs, Raising Concerns Over Veterans' Care

Eighty thousand jobs — that's the number that the Department of Veterans Affairs is planning to slash, rolling back staffing to pre-2020 levels. VA Secretary Doug Collins insists the cuts won't affect veterans' healthcare benefits, calling it a move toward efficiency. However, veterans groups and lawmakers from both parties are alarmed, warning that mass layoffs could reduce access to care and essential services for millions of veterans. The memo tells agency leaders to begin restructuring in August, and work with Elon Musk's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) to streamline operations. But many are warning that these cuts will leave the VA struggling. Sen. Richard Blumenthal called it a "betrayal" that will leave veterans frustrated and underserved.

During the hearing, Bondi butted heads with Democratic Senators Mazie Hirono, Sheldon Whitehouse, Alex Padilla, and Richard Blumenthal—but, as Rich notes, Bondi got the better of every-single exchange. 6:30pm- Monologue Replay: On Tuesday, Secretary of Defense nominee Pete Hegseth testified before the Senate Armed Services Committee. At one point, Hegseth outlined his plan to eradicate “woke” ideology from the U.S. military—vowing to prioritize combat preparation and competency. Rich notes that President-elect Donald Trump has a unique opportunity to combat the out-of-control growth of the federal government—but his job will be made easier if he has his preferred cabinet.
